Chapter 518: Romantic Comedy [Four Changes]

Zhu Yanpina sat on the sofa, as if sitting on the tip of a needle, with his elbows spread on both sides, his eyes rolling wildly, showing his inner excitement.

Wu Dun left Zhu Yanping behind, and after the initial excitement, Zhu Yanping slowly calmed down, and then began to wonder what kind of drama Lin Youlun wanted to shoot with him.

Lin Youlun drank the coffee brewed by Wang Guxian, but his eyes kept staring at Zhu Yanping.

Zhu Yanping is known as "Taiwan's Wang Jing", because his style of filming is very similar to Wang Jing, both are mainly commercial comedies, the only difference is that Wang Jing makes this type of movie to make money, while Zhu Yanping is forced to make this type of movie.

Zhu Yanping's first film "Joker" became popular with one of Taiwan's most popular comedians, but the actor died three years later because he was hacked by Taiwan. The society controlled the fight against morphine, filmed with him, and beat him to death with drugs.

The encounter is just a microcosm of the Taiwanese film industry in the 80s. The social situation is controlling the Taiwanese film industry, and 99% of the scenes made by Zhu Yanping after he became famous are not the type he likes, but have been hacked. Society forced it to shoot. At that time, Zhu Yanping's mind was full of thinking about selling out and not losing money, otherwise his life would be in danger.

Since 1980, Zhu Yanping has made more than 40 films in the past 10 years, and the output is unmatched in Taiwan, and even Hong Kong cannot find a few people who make more movies than Zhu Yanping.

This seems to be a brilliant achievement, but it has brought a lot of trouble to Zhu Yanping, and commercial films have always been despised in Taiwan. The media also always holds the "everything is inferior." Only art is high". Zhu Yanping, who specializes in commercial films, naturally became the target of public criticism.

"Has Director Zhu ever made a love movie?" 、

Lin Youlun's first question stumped Zhu Yanping, there must be love in the commercial films he made, but they are not the theme of the film, and he really hasn't made a love film like a literary one.

"What type of love romance is Mr. Lin referring to?"

Years and black. In dealing with society, Zhu Yanping has developed the habit of being cautious, even if he knows that Lin Youlun will not be like those black people in Taiwan. The boss is so arrogant and unreasonable, he still habitually wants to clarify the question before answering.

"I want to make a literary film. I went to find Hou Xiaoxian and Yang Dechang. ”

Lin Youlun dispelled Zhu Yanping's concerns with a single sentence.

"I haven't filmed it before, but I can give it a try, if the actors are right, I can't guarantee that it will be a big hit, but at least it won't lose money." Zhu Yanping said and glanced at Wang Guxian.

Zhu Yanping is indeed very smart, Lin Youlun has not said it explicitly, he has already guessed that Lin Youlun is going to use Wang Guxian as the heroine of the love film in his mouth.

Lin Youlun nodded with satisfaction, actually admitting Zhu Yanping's statement.

"My sassy girlfriend?"

Hearing the name of the movie from Lin Youlun's mouth, Zhu Yanping felt weird, and couldn't help but glance at Wang Guxian again.

Sit on the armrest of the sofa. Wang Guxian, who gently helped Lin Youlun with coffee, couldn't have anything to do with the word barbarism, no matter how you look at it. Or I misunderstood, in fact, this "barbarism" represents other meanings.

Before Zhu Yanping could ask, he heard Wang Guxian protest and say: "No, this name is not good, people don't want to play this role!" ”

Lin Youlun remembered to shoot "My Savage Girlfriend", which was inspired by Wang Groupxian's role in "Da Lu Laughing Immortals", and later this film was a stepping stone for Korean film and television dramas to open the Chinese market, and many Chinese began to slowly accept Korean film and television dramas after this movie.

And now, Lin Youlun wants to use this movie as a stepping stone for Hong Kong films to open the Korean market, to achieve this goal, the heroine of the film must have a certain degree of popularity in Japan and South Korea, and among all Hong Kong actresses, the most qualified is Wang Guxian.

"You listen to me tell the story before you make a decision, okay?"

Wang Guxian did not object again, and Lin Youlun began to speak.

"Ah Chen, who had just finished his military service, saved Xiao Xian who almost fell off the railroad tracks because of drunkenness, and later on the subway, the drunk Xiao Xian vomited a passenger, and then everyone around mistook her for Ah Chen's girlfriend. In desperation, Achen had to help Xiaoxian clean up the mess, and after getting off the subway, because he couldn't bear to leave her at the station alone, he took her drunk to the hotel to complain. The innkeeper suspected that Achen was going to have bad intentions towards the drunk girl, so he called the police, and when Achen was really taking a shower, the police suddenly rushed into the room, and Achen was speechless, and then he was taken away by the police. ”

When he heard this, Wang Guxian couldn't help but cover his mouth and smiled: "This actor is so weak!" ”

Zhu Yanping was seriously pondering what Lin Youlun said, and began to imagine how this film should be filmed, and Wang Guxian was directly substituted by him as the heroine in the story.

Lin Youlun has made it very clear in the story, the heroine's name is Xiaoxian, Wang Guxian didn't particularly notice this, but Zhu Yanping did.

Lin Youlun continued to tell about this Achen's "declining matter", because she wanted to know how deep the river was, the heroine simply piled him into the river, and only pulled him up when he was about to die; The two met in a coffee shop, and Ah Chen clearly said that she wanted to drink Coke, but she turned her head and asked the waiter to bring two cups of coffee; Scattered in the park, she thought that her shoes were grinding her feet, so she asked to change shoes with Achen, and asked Achen to wear her high heels and run in the park.

Lin Youlun hadn't finished speaking, but Wang Guxian was not happy.

"Ah Chen, a big man, why should he be so submissive?"

Zhu Yanping really wanted to answer this question for Lin Youlun, because only by doing so would there be a sense of comedy, but in the end, he still held back, Wang Guxian asked Lin Youlun, he didn't need to interject.

"Because Achen learned by chance that Xiaoxian was hit in a previous relationship, and then he was determined to heal the scars in her heart, so he was willing to be beaten and scolded, and enjoyed the joy of love." Lin Youlun explained this problem to Wang Guxian from the perspective of the plot.

Originally, Wang Guxian looked down on the role of Achen a little and felt that he was too cowardly, but when he heard this explanation, he couldn't help but be a little moved, and even his perception of this role improved greatly.

Zhu Yanping's impression of this movie has also changed a lot with the deepening of the story, he thought at first that this was a comedy of the "simple man and evil woman" model, but slowly he felt that the jokes in the story that Lin Youlun said were not funny for the sake of being funny, shoddy nonsense, but a funny, relaxed and natural life comedy.

The comedy style is just a tone of this film, and feelings are its main tone, which is why Lin Youlun asked Zhu Yanping at the beginning if he had ever made a love film, rather than asking him if he had ever made a comedy.

After the story of "My Sassy Girlfriend" is told in the second half, it slowly becomes serious, Ah Chen and Xiaoxian have been helplessly separated several times, passing by on the subway, and Xiaoxian is facing the two sincere emotions that have passed away and in reality, and finally the two broke up, and the tragic color of the whole story reached its peak.

"Then, did the two of them meet again later?"

Wang Guxian was eager to listen to the story behind, but Lin Youlun shrugged his shoulders and said irresponsibly: "I haven't thought about the story yet. ”

"Ah......" Wang Guxian and Zhu Yanping exclaimed at the same time.

Zhu Yanping felt out of shape and quickly lowered his head.

Wang Guxian also realized that he was too focused on listening to the story, so much so that he ignored the presence of Zhu Yanping, an outsider, in the living room, and was a little embarrassed for a while, and he no longer continued to ask Lin Youlun about the following story.

"Now let you play the brutal girlfriend, will you still refuse?" Lin Youlun looked at Wang Guxian and asked.

Wang Guxian didn't speak, in fact, he already meant to agree.

Lin Youlun then looked at Zhu Yanping and said: "I only considered the choice of the heroine in this movie, does Director Zhu have any suggestions for the actor?" ”

"Is Mr. Lin going to use Hong Kong actors, or is he ......" Zhu Yanping couldn't get Lin Youlun's idea, so he wanted to determine a range first.

"Hong Kong or Taiwan can do it."

Zhu Yanping was relieved when he heard this, in fact, he still hoped to find a Taiwanese actor to work with, on the one hand, he was not very familiar with Hong Kong actors, and on the other hand, if the other party was a very famous actor, Zhu Yanping was worried that he would not be able to command the other party.

"I have a good candidate, Mr. Lin can consider it." Zhu Yanping cautiously mentioned such a sentence, and then saw that Lin Youlun's expression was not abnormal, so he said boldly and confidently: "I made a movie called "Seven Wolves" last year, and there is an actor in it, who is only one year older than Miss Wang, and then his main identity is a singer, but I think he is very suitable for this role. ”

When Zhu Yanping mentioned the movie "Seven Wolves", Lin Youlun suddenly remembered someone, but he didn't rush to speak, but motioned to Zhu Yanping with his eyes to continue.

"This actor's name is Zhang Yusheng, and the song "My Future Is Not a Dream" is sung by him, I think he is very suitable for the role of Achen in "My Savage Girlfriend" from image to temperament, and coincidentally, he has just retired now."

Lin Youlun said in his heart that it was true, but when he heard that Zhang Yusheng had retired, he felt that something was not right.

""Seven Wolves" seems to have only been released last year, even if Zhang Yusheng started his military service at that time, and he retired after only one year?" (To be continued......)
